Coaching Search Update – Tuesday Edition

Texas A&M conducted two interviews on Tuesday to start the coaching search process. Aggie Websider’s David Sandhop gets you up-to-date on the leading candidates and some other big name candidates that have inquired about the Aggie football job that have hit the radar screen

It’s delusional, of course. Evidently the article indicates that almost every leading head coach in America (Chip Kelly, for example) has made inquiries about the position. The ironic part is that Richt’s interest is supposedly fueled by the Georgia fan base’s impatience with the program over the past couple of seasons. Yeah, that’s why he’d be interested in going to a school that’s been through three head coaches during Richt’s stay in Athens.

Greg McGarity measures fans’ satisfaction with the football program by their silence.

“You don’t really hear anything. People will call me to say ‘Congratulations’ or ‘I was wrong, and I’m sorry about the earlier e-mails about wanting change,’ and things like that. We deal with a lot of managerial things that may have to do with seat location in the stadium or parking problems, which are things we deal with all the time.

“It’s like everything else when things are going right. In customer service areas, very rarely do we call to thank them for the customer service. It’s sort of an expectation. If there is not much noise out there, I sort of view it as good news.”

Quote Of The Day

“It brings back a great Bulldog running back in Thomas who has NFL playing experience and has had success as a college coach at multiple schools. He also inherits a position that has been built to an elite level by Bryan. And it gives Bryan the opportunity to return to coaching the position he played and the one where he cut his teeth serving as a graduate assistant under wide receiver coach John Eason here at UGA. It also provides him with a new experience as a passing game coordinator.” -- Mark Richt, AB-H, 2/16/15
